The word "unshrouding" is derived from the combination of the prefix "un-" and the noun "shroud".
The prefix "un-" in English is a morpheme that denotes the opposite or reverse of the root word it is attached to. In this case, the root word is "shroud".
The noun "shroud" comes from the Old English word "scrūd", which means a garment or covering. In its original usage, "shroud" referred specifically to a burial cloth or garment that would cover a dead body. Over time, the term became more generalized and can now refer to any covering or enveloping material.
When the prefix "un-" is added to "shroud", it negates the word's original meaning.
